Fresh, Hot Wastes of Time

I find this darkly amusing.
I find this frightning.
I find this pretty, even if it is French.

We have this nightlight in the hallway. It was a gift that was given to me for being a moderator in Journalcon 2003. For some reason my cat Max has taken great umbrage to said nightlight, and keeps knocking the cover off of it. At first I thought it was just falling off, until one day I saw him in action. As I watched, the cat let out a mighty grunt and swatted the cover clean off. Then he sniffed haughtily and sauntered off, tail held high. What a weird little creature.

It’s so cuddly and cute. And it’s a uterus!

“Babs’ 9-year-old daughter, Bana, was the first to approach the body, followed by Babs’ mother, Alpha, 43. Bana sat down, held Babs’ hand and stroked her mother’s stomach. Then she sat down and laid her head on Babs’ arm.” – Gorillas hold ‘wake’ for group’s leader

Is it just me, or is this really sad? Am I pitiful because a little tear came to my eye about a dead gorilla?

If you haven’t seen the Salad Fingers series yet, it’s time you started. That’s the link to the first one; then check the drop-down menu to watch the rest. Please do not watch immediately before going to bed. You’ll be disturbed.

Speaking of disturbing, Hitler goes disco.

No matter how small you think the world is, it’s half that size.

I’m getting the Christmas spirit. Look out. I even have a fruitcake recipe, just waiting for me to use it.

Not much of note happening lately. Except for my in-laws’ attic catching on fire last night, which was definitely ungood. The girls brought home some grippe from hell from preschool and I got sicker than anyone. We went to see The Incredibles this afternoon, and it was really most excellent. It’s like Atlas Shrugged for Tots. I finally got to play with my new rifle, which I won at Gunstock. The trigger was too stiff to bumpfire it though.

Does anyone even read this still, my poor neglected blog?
